Stony Point

Stony Point is a town in Rockland County, New York. During the colonial era, Stony Point was home to a ferry that linked southern New England with New York, as well as a British garrison that was the site of the Battle of Stony Point on 16 July 1779; the American general in that battle, Anthony Wayne, was commemorated with a statue in the town. The discovery of limestone deposits in the 19th century led to the town's growth, and it was incorporated on 20 March 1865. In 2016, Stony Point had a population of 15,475 people.
